2015: University of Bristol THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE ANNUAL CONFERENCE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL Friday 10th – Monday 13th APRIL 2015 CONFERENCE INFORMATION We invite you to attend the 2015 Classical Association Annual Conference, which will be hosted by the University of Bristol. We look forward to welcoming you to Bristol. We hope the programme will be academically stimulating, as well as reflecting the breadth of Classics and the interests and specialisms of the Department of Classics at Bristol. The conference will run from late afternoon on Friday 10th April until before lunch Monday 13th April and will take place in the University’s Wills Memorial Building on Queens Road. The Wills Memorial Building is part of the main university complex but is also close to the city centre and Clifton village. The city itself combines medieval streets and the historic harbour-side with modern night-life. Plenary lectures will take place in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building, and panels will be in rooms located throughout the Wills Memorial Building. Registration will take place in the entrance hall and mezzanine floor of the Wills Memorial Building. Lunch on the Saturday and Sunday, for those who have booked it, will be in the Victoria Rooms which are a 5 minute walk from the Wills Memorial Building. Alternatively, if you do not book the conference lunch there are a wide range of cafés, restaurants, sandwich shops and supermarkets in the vicinity of the Wills Building. Tea and coffee will be provided on the mezzanine floor of the Wills Memorial Building. Accommodation will be in hotels in Clifton and the city centre. Highlights of the conference will include: Presidential Address Professor Peter Rhodes (Durham) Ktema es aiei (A Possession for All Time) Two plenary sessions: Professor Miriam Leonard (UCL) Tragedy and the Posthuman Professor Shane Butler (Bristol) Homer’s Deep: John Addington Symonds as Deep Classicist A special joint SCS (formerly APA)/CA panel entitled W(h)ither Philology Over 60 panels and roundtable discussions, with a mix of established and junior researchers from all over the world, addressing a broad range of topics on Greek and Latin Language and Literature, Greek and Roman History, epigraphy, Greek and Roman visual and material culture, Classics teaching in schools and universities as well as on the conference themes of the senses, reception, eco-criticism and the sustainability of classics in the 21st century. A film screening: ‘The Colours of Antiquity in Silent Cinema’. An evening with writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes. An opening drinks reception on Friday 10th at Bristol City Museum, where the Egyptian Gallery will be open for guests to view. Drinks reception and Gala Dinner at the Grand Thistle Hotel, the oldest working hotel in Bristol, on the final night. Excursions to the Roman Baths at Bath and the SS Great Britain in Bristol. A street art tour of Bristol 2 CLASSICS AND ANCIENT HISTORY AT BRISTOL Classics has been at the heart of the University of Bristol since its foundation in 1909; the Wills Chair of Greek was one of the three original chairs, along with Mathematics and Physics, endowed by H.O. Wills, whose gift of £100,000 in 1908 was the crucial step in University College obtaining its royal charter. Distinguished holders of the Greek chair have included H.D.F. Kitto, N.G.L. Hammond and John Gould. The Latin chair has been held by William Beare, Niall Rudd and Charles Martindale. Gillian Clark FBA was the first Professor of Ancient History, and Bristol has also been served by notable classical archaeologists like Peter Warren; both these distinguished scholars are still active in the research life of the university since their retirements. Today the Department of Classics & Ancient History is part of the School of Humanities, the largest and most successful School in the Faculty of Arts, together with English, Historical Studies and Religion & Theology. It currently comprises fourteen permanent members of staff, a postgraduate community of over 30 students, and roughly 250 undergraduates, more or less equally divided between the Classics, Classical Studies and Ancient History programmes. Over the last twenty-five years Bristol has played a pioneering role in the study of classical reception, with research projects like Receptions of Rome, Thucydides: reception, reinterpretation and influence and the new Deep Classics initiative, and its role in major publishing projects like the Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature. Other research strengths are myth, with an important series of Bristol Myth Conferences and publications; ancient history and historiography; and early Christianity. The Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition plays a particularly important role in promoting classical research. Funded wholly by donations and research grants, over the last decade it has supported a series of post-doctoral fellows (many of whom have gone on to permanent academic position), organised workshops and conferences, and put on events to engage with the wider public and promote the study of the ancient world in local schools.

But this is the women's war, just as much as it is the men's, and the poet will look upon their pain - the pain of the women who have always been relegated to the edges of the story, victims of men, survivors of men, slaves of men - and he will tell it, or he will tell nothing at all.

  • Classical Civilisation A-Level
    • Classical Civilisation is a first tier academic A level highly valued by all universities including Oxbridge. • As a subject it is best classed as ‘interdisciplinary’ or to put it another way – it incorporates aspects of History, Literature, Philosophy, Politics, even Performing Arts (the Greeks and Romans prised rhetoric very highly!) • You will probably not have studied Classical Civilisation at GCSE. In terms of your A Level compass it sits somewhere between History and English Literature. • Classical Civilisation obviously compliments A Level Humanities subjects like History and Law. However, you can take it with any combination of subjects you wish. • Classical Civilisation allows you to understand the society, politics and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. • It allows to engage with the literature, beliefs, customs and ideas that have shaped modern European Civilisation. • Ancient Greece and Rome are the cornerstone of western culture – be it democracy; theatre, visual arts or literature. Tasks to complete: Google image a map of the Roman Empire in 44BC. See how vast an Empire Rome already had in 44BC. Try and identify the modern day countries that were once part of the Roman Empire. Now refer back to the map to see what the names of these territories were then. Find out who had emerged as Supreme ruler of the Roman Empire in 44BC? What political title did he hold? Why has he become the famous Roman ever? Why on March 15th 44BC was he brutally assassinated? Other famous Romans – find out 3 things about each of the following: • Cicero (106-43BC) • Pompey (105-48BC) • Cato the Younger (95-46BC) • Crassus (115-53BC) • Octavian, later Caesar Augustus (63BC – AD14) Ancient Greece in the 8th Century BC, was the period in which one of the first authors of western literature, Homer, wrote 2 tales connected to perhaps the most famous event of the ancient world – the sack of the city of Troy.
